Ingredients

• 12 Falafel
• 1/4 cup Tahini
• 1/4 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 2 cloves Garlic

Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and spread the falafel out on a baking tray.
2. Bake until piping hot the whole way through, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, crushed garlic and paprika in a small bowl until smooth.
4. Slice roughly an inch off the top of each pita to open up a pocket.
5. Shred or chop the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickle and red onion.
6. Tuck two falafel into each pita along with a share of the salad.
7. Spoon about a tablespoon of tahini sauce into each one, then add a dab of harissa to taste before serving.
